Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you. This is a tough one to write. We're looking at the Toronto Breaks, and the truth is, the ocean is basically flat for the entire 16-day forecast window. There's nothing on offer. The combined swell energy is a big fat zero (0) every single day, which means we've got a dead calm lake.
For the first week, from the 3rd of August right through the 9th, there's not a single wave to ride. The lake is a sheet of glass for the most part. We see some glassy mornings on the 6th and the 13th that would be perfect for a paddle board, but without any swell, it's just a flat lake. The 10th and 11th even have some clean offshore winds from the WNW and N, but with no swell energy, it's like having a perfect runway with no plane.
The second week is more of the same, from the 12th of August right through the 18th. We get some more glassy conditions on the 13th, and even a few afternoons with clean offshore breezes, but the combined energy stays at a zero (0). It's a total blank run, which is pretty normal for this area. There's nothing for a surfer to get excited about, and honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone with a paddle. The water temp is also a very unusual 63°F, which is 8° colder than normal for this time of year, so even a swim is going to be a shock.
Sorry, folks, but sometimes you get a dry spell. The forecast can always change, but right now, there's nothing to chase.
Rusty.

Information about the Toronto Breaks Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Toronto Breaks provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Toronto Breaks can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Toronto Breaks surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Toronto Breaks) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Toronto Breaks may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Toronto Breaks is 6 km (4 miles) from the city of Mississauga. If you plan a holiday in Lake Ontario - Canada, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mississauga. Mississauga has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
